New Products
Resins suppliers are continually introducing new and improved
technologies to the market. What follows is a list of the most
recent product introductions by leading suppliers (in alphabetical order):
Alberdingk Boley
• PUR Matte products 970: Aliphatic inherent matt and hard
PUD with high optical transparency and “paper feel” for plastic, wood and other substrates.
• AC 3660: Self-cross linking multiphase acrylic emulsion with
good chemical resistant and highly transparent with superior
clarity on various dark substrates
Arkema Coating Resins
• ENCOR 662 acrylic latex delivers outstanding stain-blocking
and washability performance in low VOC interior architec-
tural coatings. ENCOR 662 meets the standards of Arkema
Coating Resins’ EnVia program and is designed to assist for-
mulators in meeting their sustainability and regulatory goals
in their finished products.
• ENCOR 496 is designed for use as a binder in air-moisture
barriers and dirt resistance finish coats. Due to its cement
compatibility it can also be used as a cement modifier in
adhesive/base coats with good high-temperature pot life. It
is an excellent choice for use in moisture draining, exterior
insulation and finish systems (EIFS) due to its excellent re-
sistance to bulk water intrusion while allowing the passage
of water vapor. ENCOR 496 also offers distinct early grab
or “green strength”, which allows expanded polystyrene ad-
hered with an adhesive coat based on ENCOR 496 to be
rasped in a few hours.
DIC International
• CERANATE, polysilioxane dispersion, provides exceptional weathering and self-cleaning properties to water-based coatings. EPICLON epoxy resins have Tgs in excess
of 300 °C and this enables chemists to use our epoxy resins in applications which require exposure to extreme heat.
These two technologies allow formulators and engineers to
revolutionize their craft and our customers to bring innovation to their markets.
King Industries
• K-FLEX XM-366 is a low viscosity, 100% active, saturated,
aliphatic polyester diol with primary hydroxyl groups. This
product was designed for use as a resin modifier of acrylic/
isocyanate and acrylic/melamine systems to increase flexibility
and decrease VOC.
Advantages include:
- 100% active
- Low viscosity
- Excellent compatibility and solubility
- Hardness with flexibility
- Light color
• K-FLEX UD-350W is an aqueous solution of an aliphatic,
low molecular weight urethane diol oligomer. It is recommended as a modifier for amino crosslinked water soluble
and emulsified acrylic, alkyd, urethane and polyester resins.
K-FLEX UD-350W can be used as a reactive cosolvent replacement to increase solids, crosslink density, improve film/
resistance properties and flow/leveling.
Advantages include:
- Allows cosolvent reduction (lower-VOC)
- Water soluble without using amine and cosolvent
- Reduced Popping
- Increased hardness
- Good chemical/stain resistance
- Improved flow/leveling (higher gloss)
- Good hydrolytic stability
- Excellent QUV resistance and exterior durability
- Anti-skinning
Reichhold
• EPOTUF 38-698 is a modified 1K epoxy ester dispersion
supplied in water. It is designed for non-pigmented concrete bonding primers to increase adhesion between the
concrete and topcoat. Tie coats made with EPOTUF 38-
698 dramatically improve the cohesive strength between
concrete surfaces and topcoats to maintain the integrity of
the coating system.
• UROTUF F100-W- 36 is a solvent-free water-borne oil modified urethane with a certified biobased content of 52%. It
carries the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) voluntary
Certified Biobased Product label through its BioPreferred
program. UROTUF F100-W- 36 is used in 1K highly durable
clear finishes for wood surfaces, including performance driven
flooring applications.
Siltech
• Fluorosil OH C7-F and Fluorosil ACR C7-F are non-PFOS based perfluoroalkyl silicones designed to give
some of the properties of fluorocarbons with minimal
fluoroalkyl content. Based on C4F9 chemistry which
avoids the PFOS intermediates, the Fluorosil products
also take advantage of a synergy with the silicone to
provide release and COF properties with minimal fluoroalkyl content. The products are hydroxyl and acrylate
functional respectively to react into condensation or UV
cured resin systems.
Specialty Polymers
• RayKote 7100 is a self-crosslinking styrene acrylic emulsion
polymer designed for primers or to provide excellent early adhesion and gloss to various metal substrates. Coatings formulated
with RayKote 7100 exhibit outstanding corrosion and early
water resistance for direct-to-metal and primer applications.
RayKote 7100 is compatible with different types of corrosion
inhibiting pigments. CW
